FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Plentific & Zoopla Property Group (ZPG) today announced the launch of a new service – Find a Pro – which provides users with access to thousands of professionals and local tradesmen for home-related projects and services.

Find a Pro, which will be available across Plentific.com, Zoopla and PrimeLocation websites will offer consumers access to a network of over 35,000 professionals nationwide, covering more than 50 home-related service categories including conveyancers, surveyors, architects, electricians, locksmiths, gardeners and many more.

The new feature allows UK property professionals and tradesmen to showcase their business in full including the people, past projects, customer ratings and reviews, associated memberships and accreditations and will give users a wealth of information on property professionals in their local area making it easy to research suitable professionals for their property related projects.

Cem Savas & Emre Kazan, Co-Founders of Plentific said, “We are delighted to be working with Zoopla Property Group and reaching out to Zoopla and Primelocation users with our Find a Pro service. This new feature will not only complete the online property search experience for home movers and homeowners, but also provide our comprehensive network of professionals and local tradesmen a higher number of quality leads. At Plentific, we’ve all got one thing in common: Making it simpler to finding your dream home and connecting homeowners with the right professionals on-demand in their neighbourhood. Find a home. Find a Pro. Get it done.”

Alex Chesterman, Founder & Group CEO of ZPG said, “The new Find a Pro service makes it easier than ever for consumers to find relevant professionals or tradesmen for their property project. With over 35,000 professionals and tradesmen available via the Find a Pro feature, it will become an essential place for researching home improvement, maintenance and repair projects.”

Plentific.com is an innovative real estate marketplace, which is free for homebuyers and homeowners. The company was founded by Cem Savas and Emre Kazan, both former City finance professionals, after realising that property consumers in the UK were struggling to make the right property decisions due to a lack of unbiassed information, necessary financial tools and an easy access to qualified professionals and local tradesmen. Plentific, which stands for ‘plenty’ of ‘fantastic’ tools and services, was launched in April 2014 and is en route to becoming a one-stop-shop solution for property consumers in the UK.

Plentific helps professionals and local tradesmen in its ‘Find a Pro’ panel enhance their online presence via rich microsites and targeted digital marketing opportunities on both Plentific.com and other high-traffic partner websites. Via our access to a highly targeted audience, we generate high-quality customer leads to our panel members.

Plentific will continue its explosive growth in 2015, developing innovative on-demand products and features for property consumers, home professionals and tradesmen in addition to scaling its operations infrastructure to meet growing demand for the platform.
